Infinity Watch Omni including Warlock Chronicles along with any crossover issues elsewhere would be cool. In the Thanos (2003) omnibus I'd add Thanos's appearances elsewhere not written by Starlin as Starlin does reference them. Marvel could publish it as one omnibus if it doesn't include the Warlock Chronicles and Infinity Watch collected within other omnis.

Would be cool if Marvel collected in omnibus format Starlin's prior 'final' Thanos run, i.e. Infinity Abyss, Thanos series (which Giffen finished), and Marvel Universe The End. Suppose Marvel could pad out the omni with all the material Starlin did rendition of the Byrne Doom-retcon regarding.

Couple of fun things Omar missed in his overview. Alan Davis took over the pencils because a Soda Steam machine exploded while Starlin was using it, injuring his had, and he couldn’t draw for a couple of years after it. Starlin almost didn’t finish the story because Marvel started doing a Thanos ongoing book and it used a very similar plot as Starlins books. Starlin got very mad at Marvel and had stated these this will be his final work for the comic side of company (he states to have a good relationship with the movie side)

So the order would be Thanos infinity origins saga, infinity gauntlet omni, infinity gauntlet aftermath, infinity war omni, infinity war aftermath, the forthcoming infinity crusade omni, insert war of the kings cosmic saga (which is Annihilation, Annihilation conquest, road to war of kings, war of kings, war of kings aftermath omnis in order) then Thanos infinity saga omni. Also, based on what Omar said you also ought to have read the infinity OHC prior to the Thanos infinity saga omni. I believe that covers everything.

If you want to do Omnibus format, this would be the best order: Thanos Infinity Origin Infinity Gauntlet Infinity War Infinity Crusade (which comes out in January) Thanos Saga With those 5 volumes, you get the lion’s share of Thanos appearances written by Jim Starlin. There are a few soft covers that can fill in those gaps if you are interested. As Omar said, the Thanos Saga Omni is not solidly placed in Marvel continuity... however, it IS a good wrap up to the story of Thanos by the guy that created him and wrote most of his stories.
@MaxBennie3 жыл бұрын
Further to the above comment, you should also read Annihilation and follow the Abnett/Lanning cosmic saga from there. Further issues of Infinity Watch follow on from Infinity Crusade, and Starlin wrote some more IW and Thanos material in the years preceding Annihilation - mostly collected in paperback, though those Starlin-penned Thanos issues are hard to find. Then there’s Thanos’s return in Jonathan Hickman’s Avengers, though he somewhat lacks that Starlinesque charm in his appearances here. I would also add that the original stories collected in the Infinity Origin omnibus are also collected in the Captain Marvel and Adam Warlock Complete Collections. So, to recap: Infinity Origin (1973-1978) The Thanos Quest (1990) The Infinity Gauntlet (1991) The Infinity War (1992) The Infinity Crusade (1993) Warlock and the Infinity Watch (1992-1995) Warlock (1998) Infinity Abyss (2002) Marvel Universe: The End (2003) Thanos (2004) Annihilation (2006-2007) Annihilation: Conquest (2007-2008) Nova (2007-2010) Guardians of the Galaxy (2008-2010) War of Kings (2009) Realm of Kings (2010) The Thanos Imperative (2010-2011) Avengers (2012-2015) Infinity (2013) Secret Wars (2015) Ultimates (2015) Ultimates^2 (2016) Thanos (2016-2018) Guardians of the Galaxy (2017-2018) Infinity Wars (2018) Cosmic Ghost Rider (2018) Guardians of the Galaxy (2019) Annihilation: Scourge (2019) Guardians of the Galaxy (2020) The exact placement of Starlin’s new Thanos saga has not been determined, but it definitely takes place after The Thanos Imperative. War of Kings and its aftermath are set up in X-Men: Deadly Genesis, the Rise and Fall of the Shi’ar Empire arc, and Secret Invasion: Inhumans.

Marvel could add Starlin Apocrypha (not written by him) such as the remainder of Infinity Watch, Cosmic Powers (including the brief Secret Defenders arc), and the Thanos clones stories (which also includes Waid's Ka-Zar story) of which Starlin does mention. Thanos solo does end with work by Giffen. Would be a big omnibus.
